"Little Flock" as meant in 1881 by Rusell?
by TheListener incan someone please help me with some old literature references about what exactly the society (russell) meant when he referred to the little flock in the early 1880s.. from my memory they thought that there would be two classes, the little flock, who spearheaded and performed the preaching work; and the bigger flock, who may have been in christendom's churches but had right hearts.
both flocks were going to heaven but the little flock would be co-rulers with jesus..
any quotes to back that up, or that show it's wrong??

"Conscience" matters
by Lady Lee inso just how things does the wts call a matter of conscience and in the next breath condemn.. as far back as i can recall jws were told that certain things were conscience matters.
they they would go into some long detailed description of instances in the bible where such-and-such a practice was condemned.
they would add in stories of how things went terribly wrong when some people actually did the suspect action.
